but there are loads of games you can't play in real life (at least not without getting arrested)
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

lol That's what I had to be careful about when I worked there! After a few days of Grand Turismo, you tend to drive the same way in real life

I hope you live in a secluded part of the world if he drives like that!

Have you ever played Half-Life with another 6 people in the same open-plan office? It's quite an experience in a way... You're happily murdering your mate or your boss during lunchbreak     Good for the nerves!!!

I live in the midlands (but my dad is actualy a good driver, he just can't play Gran Turismo)

I've never played half-life, but when i did work experiance at Warwickshire health Authority, the entire It department spent most of the time playing shootem-up's over the network. (could explain the poor state of some hospitals)

And no, you don't get bored with that job. You see so many rubbish games but, every now and then, you get a lot of fun!!!

Tell me, what happens if you get stuck on level 7 and the game goes up to level 20? 

Does the translation stop or do you just make it up from then on and wait to see if anybody complains or even notices?  Or do you include rude and insulting terms to vent your frutstration at those who play the game better than you do?

For translations, we are issued with the all text files included in the game. It's not so difficult when it's rolling text, but buttons and short phrases can be tricky if they're out of context. Playing the game helps a lot there - it also helps to pitch the register: from 3+ (all kiddies games) to 18+ (arrgh, I've learnt a lot of swear words there )

When it comes to testing, most game developers provide cheats as well, but it's worth playing the game "nomally" to make sure everything's fine, whether you win or lose.

Finishing the game? Start asking around and a spotty teenager (sorry... a functionality tester  ) will complete it in no time! You just have to get the screengrabs at the right moment .
